back to our origin story of the beginnings there were the giants the Children weren’t the sole occupants of Westeros during the Dawn Age. Tribes of massive Giants, bulky humanoids that grew to 12 feet tall also lived there. And like the Children, they were spread out in groups across all of Westeros. The Children and the Giants occasionally fought each other over territory, but largely maintained a peace that lasted even after the arrival of the First Men. [img]https://media1./images/cbe10d0de75ece12728ab5fd7abccae6/tenor.gif[/img] Humans were less able to get along with Giants, however, and between both the Andals and the First Men, the Giants were slowly wiped out over the course of thousands of years. Technologically stagnant — even more than the Children — Giants were forced out of their settlements all over Westeros by humans (the descendants of what would become House Baratheon began the push from the Stormlands in the south), moving further and further north, until they resettled beyond the Wall, distant and untrustworthy of Humankind. By the time of Mance Rayder’s rule over the Wildlings as King Beyond the Wall, the remaining Giants — believed to only be around a few hundred in number — had allied with the Wildlings and integrated themselves as part of their society, fighting alongside them against both the Night’s Watch and the Others. The Children and the Giants represent a more peaceful side of Westeros’ fantastical past. But thousands of years after the First Men and the Children of the Forest signed the Pact, a long, harsh winter brought about an event that would be called The Long Night, a Winter season that lasted for an entire generation, and brought with it an invasion of the undead from the far northern reaches of Westeros. They descended upon the North, and even further south into Westeros. No one knows how the Others came about — whether they were native to Westeros, or a group of humans that settled in the North that became corrupted by powerful magic. With pale blue skin impervious to fire and most materials, the Others could raise slain foes as new Wights to join their armies. The Others also brought bizarre creatures not seen in any other part of Westeros with them, from decaying mammoths to horrifying giant ice spiders that they used as mounts and as battle animals. The creatures swept across Westeros during the Long Night, killing untold numbers of Children and First Men, and nearly driving both species to extinction. However, the Children discovered that the Others could be defeated by their obsidian weaponry, known as “dragonglass,” and began to fight back, eventually driving the Others back to the far North and defeating them at the Battle for the Dawn. What few Others remained were then trapped in the North by the hero Brandon the Builder (who went on to found House Stark), who led the efforts of the First Men, Children and Giants to build the magically-enhanced Wall, trapping the Others in the upper reaches of the continent. Once the wall was built, the Night’s Watch was established to guard it, and to fight back any attempts by the Others. The order was almost destroyed shortly after its founding however — the 13th commander of the Night’s Watch allegedly fell in love with a Female Other, eventually marrying her and using her abilities to enthrall the Night’s Watch. The Commander, now known as the Night King, used the Watch and the Others to try and take over the North, committing countless atrocities until he was eventually overwhelmed and defeated. The Watch, so ashamed of their failure to safeguard the realm, chose to strike the Commander’s name and record from their history books, forbidding anyone to speak of his name ever again. things to know after reading that, we later learnt that the others are a creation of the night king and the night king was created by the children of the forest to fight humans for them, after men build to wall to stop the advancement of white walkers, the night king went on the attack against chilren of the forest and wildings 5 Likes |

Bro, I am not understanding. One part of your narrative say that the night king was created by the children of the forest to help them against the first men. Another part is insinuating that the night king was a former commander of the night watch who fell in love with an other. I am not understanding mbok iamJ: 1 Like |

alexistaiwo: Both sides are true. The show and the book have two different Night kings. The Night king on the show was created by the children of the forest while the Night's king in the books was a Stark who was a Lord Commander and fell for an "other" The show's night king is loosely based on the books' night king. 4 Likes |

BraniacX: The trailer showed almost all the major characters' signature item. It also showed Arya's needle, Dany's chain, Tyrion's hand sigil, Bran's wheelchair etc. And not forgetting that beautiful feather (it has featured in two trailers now). Me thinks its just a way of saying Winter's here baby |

Expecting more stunning battles this season. I hope the battle of Winterfell will surpass those we've seen so far. To me, the top 5 battles are 5. Battle of the Goldroads (Highgarden to Blackwater) 1 Like 1 Share
